I agree it is outrageous, but that's exactly what Gaetz did - worked with Dems to take down McCarthy. So of course yu can expect any ~10 member sub group to be able to blackmail the whole caucus now.


This sub member blackmail has been going on since McCarthy was elected speaker.

Wonder why McCarthy made promises and then had to reverse himself?

Guys like Rodgers telling him if he did not roll over to their RINO demands, they would file their own motion to vacate the chair and depose him.

McCarthy was put in an untenable position that essentially makes the House ungovernable and allows the Democrats to create their own coalition with Republicans.

Your post is a good one, but McCarthy destroyed his credibility today (if the e reports I’ve seen are true) when he blamed DEMOCRATS for the House Speaker impasse.

No, Kevin — you are a bloviating fool. As the minority party, the Democrats can’t pass or block anything in the House.
